Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the away goal and again leads the attack, with captain Marc Guehi starting. Will Hughes is absent while Daichi Kamada starts in a more advanced role. Ismaila Sarr and Mateta are primary attacking threats. A defeat would eliminate Palace from European competition, making the away match high stakes.
